Trevor Phillips tells the truth about integration

A couple of days ago a member of the establishment told the truth. Trevor Phillips, the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, told us that ‘Muslim communities are not like others in Britain and the country should accept they will never integrate’.

This is an encouraging development, the more so because he happens to be black therefore it will be harder for the forces of idiocy to dismiss him as a racist. Not impossible, but harder.

He is of course correct. Everyone knows that Muslim communities do not integrate but we are too polite to mention it. It is all too obvious that they form insular enclaves where, as Trevor Phillips says, “they behave in a different way, some of which we may not like”.

But why?

Well, for one thing their religion tells them not to integrate. There are plenty of verses in the Koran which instruct Muslims not to have anything to do with the Kuffar. Collectively they form the basis of the Islamic doctrine of al wala wal bara. Here are some examples:

(3:28) Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them…

(3:118) O ye who believe! Take not for intimates others than your own folk, who would spare no pains to ruin you; they love to hamper you. Hatred is revealed by (the utterance of) their mouths, but that which their breasts hide is greater…

(4:101) …the disbelievers are an open enemy to you.

(60:4) …We have done with you. And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only…

And then, apart from the stand offishness there is the supremacism. That’s a word you never hear in the public discourse but it is the most important of all in regard to Islam. No one gives a damn if their neighbour believes in flying donkeys. Nor do they care if he avoids them for fear of spiritual pollution or suchlike. The Plymouth Brethren were thought odd but no one felt threatened by them. If, on the other hand, your neighbour’s god tells him that it is the duty of his followers to spread his religion, by whatever means necessary, until it dominates all the others and the whole world, then you can hardly expect harmonious co-existence.
